Dracaena angolensis 'Star Rose' – Compact Cylindrical Snake Plant with Fine Variegation
Dracaena angolensis 'Star Rose' (still widely sold under the older name Sansevieria cylindrica) is a charming cultivar of Dracaena angolensis (Welw. ex Carrière) Byng and Christenh. Unlike the tall, rod-like standard form, 'Star Rose' is smaller and more compact, producing succulent, patterned leaves in rosettes. Each cylindrical leaf is subtly banded in green and accented with fine variegated margins, creating a refined, decorative effect. Its modest size and low-maintenance nature make it an excellent choice for tabletops, shelves, and smaller interiors.
What Makes Dracaena 'Star Rose' Distinct
- Leaf Arrangement: Rosette-forming rather than fan-shaped growth, giving a denser silhouette.
- Foliage Details: Grey-green, banded leaves with delicate variegated edges.
- Compact Growth: Stays smaller than most cylindrical snake plants, ideal for limited spaces.
- Ease of Care: Extremely hardy and drought-tolerant, suited for beginners and collectors alike.
Background and Origin
The species Dracaena angolensis is native to Angola and neighboring parts of southern Africa, where it survives in arid, rocky habitats. Formerly classified as Sansevieria cylindrica, it was reassigned to Dracaena following molecular research. The 'Star Rose' cultivar was developed for horticulture, valued for its smaller size and delicate variegation compared to standard forms.
How to Grow Dracaena 'Star Rose'
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates lower light but growth slows.
- Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings.
- Soil: Best in a very well-draining, mineral-rich succulent or cactus substrate.
- Temperature: Warm-growing; ideal range 18 – 27 °C; protect from frost.
- Fertilizer: Apply diluted succulent fertilizer during the growing season.
- Containers: Compact growth suits small pots, making it ideal for desktops and shelves.
Care Considerations
- Overwatering: The main risk; roots and rhizomes rot quickly in soggy soil.
- Growth Speed: Naturally slow-growing; adds leaves gradually over years.
- Pest Issues: Occasionally attracts mealybugs or spider mites under stress.
- Toxicity: Like all Dracaena, toxic to pets if ingested.
Why Grow Dracaena 'Star Rose'
Dracaena 'Star Rose' is prized for combining the resilience of the cylindrical snake plant with a smaller, rosette-forming habit and fine variegation. It brings subtle elegance and structure to smaller spaces, offering an architectural look without the imposing size of taller cultivars like 'Rocket' or 'Inti'.
Etymology
The genus name Dracaena is derived from the Ancient Greek δράκαινα (drakaina), meaning “female dragon,” in reference to the red resin (“dragon’s blood”) produced by some species. The epithet angolensis indicates its origin in Angola.

Definitely worth reading to improve your relationship with your spouse.
Format: Paperback
It is definitely a good book for couples and it has improved my relationship with my wife. If nothing else it shows you what things your partner is really looking for out of their spouse. I quickly found that my love language was "Acts of Service". Though it might not be sexy or macho to say that, it means more to me to have the dishes and laundry done when I come home after work or have minor home improvements taken care of before I get home. My wife and I have 2 small children and our house is hard to stay clean because every room feels like a mess. We do clean it all the time but it feels like a losing battle. My wife's love language is "Words of Affirmation". As you can tell from all these Amazon reviews I am much more of a writer than I am a talker. My wife is always looking for me to say how much I love and appreciate her because I don't say it often enough.
A big part of improving your relationship with your spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend is to sticking with a date night to make sure you have quality time together. Especially if you have children or a high stress occupation. My wife and I have been together for 10 years and got stuck in the rut of an endless routine of doing everything we could for our kids, followed by daily chores and left little time for ourselves. Committing to 1 date night a week has really helped our relationship and improved our communication.
I recommend the book for sure and found it inspiring and worth reading. All couples can benefit from reading this book. The only downside is I wish it could have been a little longer. The stories from the author are interesting and I would have liked to have heard a bunch of his other examples of couples that he has dealt with. It was a short book and my wife and I finished it in 4 or 5 days and that was reading it slowly. The price is easily affordable. I found it best to photo copy the test quiz at the end instead of writing in the book so we can give the book to any family or friends who are struggling with their relationship.

Easy read and full of good information. The first book I would recommend to any parent.
This book is great for those of you that already put effort into your relationship with your children. The main bit of knowledge I took away from reading this book is how to make that same amount of effort count for more. If you have already read the original 5 Love Languages book you will know what I mean. Even for those of you who have read it there are some great examples that will help you transfer those ideas from the first book into your relationship with your kids.
If you haven't ready the first book that was intended for married couples (or non married couples in a serious relationship) you can still read this book no problem. This was written as a standalone book that does not require the reading of the authors first book.
Kids are easy to love, and of course sometimes not so easy but we care for them just the same. It is easy for us to see when they care about us because they are so basic in the way they show affection. As they get older into adolescence this changes a bit as they get more complicated. My children are 4 months, 2 years, and 3.5 years old. Even though this book will be more helpful with children ages 8-18, I am already using the concepts of this book with my 2 and 3.5 year old and seeing results. This book will show you how to let your children know you care about them. My 3.5 year old just needs hugs but my 2 year old needs time spent with him. When I started doing this his typical 2 year old "touch everything I shouldn't" actions went away. It was a moment to cherish when we could leave the remote controls for the TV out on the end table again. When my 2 year old started getting the love he wanted he stopped acting out and this book showed me in an easy to understand way how to see what my child wanted and give it to him. Now did I ignore my child before? No Way. When I get home all the kids go crazy and jump on me and we wrestle and tickle. My 3.5 year old tells me about preschool and my boy shows me his toys (the same ones as the day before). We all eat dinner together followed shortly after by taking baths or showers. Then we have nights with no TV where my wife and I will read them books or they will play and sometimes we let them watch a show or two. Its not like we are bad parents at all and this book isn't aimed at making bad parents better. This book will show you, whatever type of parent you are, how to show your children you care for them so they see it. When your children feel more loved by you they will be more confident, act out less, and be able to show you better how they care for you. Its a win win with no real extra effort needed other than what you are currently putting out. You just might need to redirect some of your effort. This book is a short easy read and I recommend it to any parent.

This Book is a Must-Read for All Parents!
I had been intrigued by
for awhile and finally read it last year. I loved it and it made so much sense to me. My husband and I ended up discussing it for awhile and still do occasionally. We have five-year-old boy/girl twins and I felt it was important for me to read The 5 Love Languages of Children because I want my children to grow up securely, knowing they are truly loved.
The 5 Love Languages of Children is written by Gary Chapman, author of The 5 Love Languages, and Ross Campbell, a psychiatrist who specialized in the parent-child relationship. If you've read The 5 Love Languages, you will recognize the same elements discussed in that book but this time, they apply to children, which is where Ross Campbell's expertise comes in to play. Since children are ever-changing and differ developmentally than adults, the concepts presented in this book are a great way to get to know your child better and hopefully have a more peaceful, loving household with children who grow up to be loving adults.
This book is comprised of 223 pages and there is a chapter devoted solely to each love language. Then, there are chapters that discuss discipline and learning, along with the love languages. There is also a chapter to help you find your child's love language, although this can be difficult because children are constantly changing so it's definitely a great idea to learn how to speak all five to them!
I'm so glad I read this and I wish I had read it sooner. My kids are still young and I think what I've just read can really help as they get older. I've been thinking about what their love languages could be and it's actually a bit difficult to pinpoint but now I've got the tools to help figure it out! If you are a parent, I strongly recommend reading this book. I'm glad I bought it so I can refer to it in the future. Even if you've read The 5 Love Languages, you'll want to read this one as well since there are differences between children and adults and the way they think. It's worth the time to read this book!

Format: Kindle
I agree that children are gifts and that they should be raised surrounded by love. It won’t happen without working on yourselves first. Great information and very interesting!
